To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a
level surface.

If the level is below the bottom of the filler plug hole,
you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
A fluid loss could indicate a problem; check and have
it repaired, if needed.

What to Use

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of lubricant to use. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants
on page 6-13.

Headlamp Aiming

Headlamp aim has been preset at the factory and
should need no further adjustment.

However, if your vehicle is damaged in a crash, the
headlamp aim may be affected. Aim adjustment to the
low-beam headlamps may be necessary if oncoming
drivers flash their high-beam headlamps at you
(for vertical aim).

If the headlamps need to be re-aimed, it is
recommended that you take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer for service.

Bulb Replacement

For the proper type of replacement bulbs, see
Replacement Bulbs on page 5-46.

For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your dealer/retailer.

CAUTION:

Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and

others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow
the instructions on the bulb package.
